2305 UTC "Don't Fear the Reaper"-Blue Oyster Cult
(A slight bit of OTHR and occasional blasts of ALE)
2309 UTC Possibly a very distorted announcer? Hard to tell....lots of storm static now at grey line.

2323 UTC "When Love Breaks Down"-Prefab Sprout (Per Shazam)
2325 UTC "Mellow Doubt"-Teenage Fanclub

UNID 6850 AM S1-S2 in NY (impossible to listen in AM, heavy interference from LSB, forced to listen in USB)

2300: Hearing rock music, just not enough to I.D. a song

Very interesting Ray! Checking the European postings, I see there are 2 of them with the same playlist!

The broadcast did have some European propagational characteristics about it. So this belongs in the European forum I guess! It would be nice if they would ID!( And QSL!  :) )

Here is the Google Drive link to the recording of my reception....
